An engaged community can improve the quality of your product, speed up development, and refer you to potential customers but it takes hard work, time, and dedication to reach that point. How can founders and early teams build healthy and vibrant communities in such a way that their efforts aren’t wasted? In this panel, developer community experts from Devada, Weaveworks, RingCentral, and Google will share their hard learned lessons and insights on:

• What you should do and expect as your company scales.
